Job Seekers Face Challenges as Employers Ghost Candidates Amid Cooling Labor Market
A recent survey by LiveCareer found that 45% of job seekers have experienced being ghosted by employers during the hiring process. This phenomenon occurs when employers cease communication with candidates without explanation, often after interviews or job offers. Factors contributing to this trend include internal budget changes, high application volumes, and external issues like labor shortages. The practice of ghosting can damage a company's reputation and affect its ability to attract talent.
